Replies Al Legator Posted at 11:08 am on Nov. 7, 2007 Sorry if I sounded a bit snarky. I hadn't had my 2nd coffee,lol. I am a big stickler for proper grammar but sometimes I get a bit over the top about it on the Net. Especially since, though I can spell well, I can't tuype wiorht a dan!   I was influenced by an really old English textbook I saw a couple of years ago from the 1940s. I couldn't believe it! Most of what I saw for the grade 8 level back then would be tough in University today! There was a history textbook from the same time too that was even harder! collegechick Posted at 9:29 am on Nov. 7, 2007 yea...college not high school in high school i got A's on my papers.
